A propos de cet article

Presumed first edition thus (no additional printings listed) . Original blue and stamped gilt pictorial cloth (two small human figures on a cliff overlooking what is probably Niagara Falls, flanked by an American and Canadian flags motif, stamped gilt lettering, 5 1/2 x 8 inches, 458 pp + xl pp of ads on blue paper tipped-in at front and rear, many illustrated, six black and white fold-out maps, with ads on reverse sides: Saratoga, Niagara Falls, Excursion Routes (Middle Atrlantic states, New England and southern Canada) , Lower St Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers (railroad and steamship guide and time table on reverse side) , the White Mountains, and Boston, + two sadly damaged items in pocket: a 7x16 inch portion of a map of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad (1882) with a drawing of the old Grand Central Depot (station) on the front, and a RR scene on the rear, and a 7 x 19 inch portion of the Panorama of St Lawrence River by Alfred R Waud; illustrated in-text with numerous black and white drawings of hotels, views of cities and landscapes, sites to see, etc. Hardcover, very good. Corners bumped, light soil on cloth, rubbed along joints, spine moderately tanned with a few 1/4 inch nicks at head and foot, 1/4 inch drop mark. Internally, paper lightly age yellowed, previous owner's name and address (in pencil) on title page, some tears along fold of the Waud illustration fragment, a 2 inch and a 6 inch tear and a few 1/4 inch nicks on map of Niagara Falls, 1 1/2 inch tear on lower corner of Excursion Routes, 4 inch tear on White Mountains, otherwise tight, clean, paper crisp, unmarked; probably never really read. Perhaps the nicest and most comprehensive issue of this once popular Victorian travel guide from the days when the railroad and steamship made tourism affordable for the rising middle class.…

Description de la boutique

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!…
